I don't use mythfrontend very often. When I do, it's from my
workstation so that I can edit out commercials. After finding out that
I could set up mythfilldatabase to automatically be run my mythtv, I
assumed that this meant the BACKEND. I opened up mythfrontend on my box
(no backend), configured it to run mythfilldatabase and figured that all
was well.
Well, on a whim, I popped open the "backend status" in mythweb, and it
told me that it had been almost 2 weeks since mythfilldatabase had been
run. Odd, I thought. I checked the config, and it is still set to
run. However, when I checked the mythfrontend on the backend box, it
was NOT set to run.
Is there any way to let people know which settings are "universal" and
which are set for a specific frontend box? I had just assumed that
"mythfilldatabase" would be attributed to the backend, since there's
little need to have every frontend box set up to run it automatically.
